Abstract

Floral fragrance plays a significant part in many plants' reproductive processes and has a significant economic value in ensuring crop production and quality in many cases. Cut flowers and decorative plants' aesthetic qualities are also improved. Terpenoid or phenylpropanoid/benzenoid families of chemicals are home to many volatile components of flower scents. Despite the fact that research into the biochemistry of floral fragrance is still in its infancy, in the last ten years experts have started to pinpoint "scent genes" and their expression patterns. A number of these genes, the majority of which, but not all, encode enzymes that catalyze the direct synthesis of volatile terpenoid or phenylpropanoid/benzenoid chemicals, have now been utilized to genetically edit the volatile mixture released from the flowers of various plant species. The results of these investigations, which are presented below, have shown promise for the genetic engineering method of changing flower smells.

Conclusion

We have made considerable advancements in the past several years in both the capacity to control the volatile spectrum in plants and the identification of the genes and enzymes involved in the manufacture of volatile chemicals (Table 1). A lack of a thorough understanding of plant metabolic networks and their regulation, as well as our limited understanding of network organization, the subcellular localization of the involved enzyme, competing pathways, metabolic channeling, flux-controlling steps, and potential feedback control, are highlighted by the fact that metabolic manipulations frequently produce unpredictable results. The discovery of essential chemicals involved in volatile-induced plant defenses, insect attraction, and their impacts on insect behavior in field experiments will also significantly aid in target selection. There is no doubt that it is now feasible to modify plants such that they can produce and release more volatiles from their blooms.
